If there’s one thing I love, it’s a juicy, editorial-worthy glow. Despite having oily skin, I covet that intentional radiance that screams, “I drink all of my water every day.” That said, I also have fairly sensitive skin, and my skincare routine is strictly tailored to my acne-prone skin. So when I want that model-esque glam, I turn to an entirely different category: skin prep.
Yes, your skincare and skin prep routines are completely different because they serve different purposes (and should). The former is all about treating your skin concerns, whether it’s acne, eczema, or even rosacea. The latter is used only to ensure your skin is prepared for makeup. When using products for skin prep, the goal is typically to make the complexion look as natural as possible—think a juiced-up, red-carpet-worthy glow, but achieved in the comfort of your home. This is what proper skin prep adds to your beauty routine.
